Note
The machine data configuration and the software package version determine which
programs can be used. It is also possible to partially define these programs in the global
cycle data during start-up.
→ Please refer to data supplied by the machine manufacturer and Installation and Start-up
Guide
General information
The measuring cycle package supplied consists of:
• Data blocks for defining the global measuring cycle data
• Measuring cycles
• Measuring cycle subroutines
• Convenience Functions
To ensure that the measuring cycles can be executed in the control, the data blocks must
have been loaded into directory "Definitions" and the measuring cycles and measuring cycle
subroutines must be stored in the part program memory.
Note
Please note that the control always requires a Power ON between loading and execution of
the measuring cycles!
→ Please refer to the notes on installation in the Commissioning chapter!
Subpackages
In many applications, not all the measuring cycles are used on one machine. Instead,
subpackages are used.
The following overview shows which subpackages are advisable and executable. This will
help you to save memory.
